    Haha he doesn't know! Most people don't have scanner things, including myself. Can't you get it checked at autoparts stores or something?

    Yes, most parts stores, which are on about every corner anymore, will check them for free. Takes all of 2 minutes.

    I know the recall is for the valve covers, but I think it also included new spark wire retainers. One of the spark plug wires could be damaged or not securely pressed on the spark plug. Get the check engine light code checked at the autoparts store for us to lead you in a better direction.
